About Me

Martin Leonard Freebase lives in Dubuque, Iowa. As a graduate student in Sociology, Martin became interested in culture “as meaning making.” Martin believes that people employ a tool kit of habits, skills, and styles from which they craft meaning in their lives. Through our interactions with others, we create and recreate meanings that allow us to make sense out of a chaotic world full of contradictions. Martin considers the art of writing as one small way of collapsing the confusion of experience into more meaningful patterns of social thought.
